 Hi Jim;

Thank you for your reply about John McBride on Ans/Ireland, I have passed it on to the lady in Australia if she wants to persue it,,, my line is only with Archibald & Lucinda McKee I have never been able to find much Irish records on them that far back, and living across the pond I have no chance to get a look at church registers,,,,
This lady from Aust, told me she spent 6mths working over there in the 1960's and had a look around but she did not have the 'info' on the family then,she went back on a visit in '2001' and went round the churches & graveyards,she actually found my Archibald, Lucinda, and my Grt, Grt Granmother their daughter Mary Ann Hedifont, she died Glasgow 1876,I had no idea she had been taken back to Ireland to be buried with her parents in "Movilla Graveyard" so that was great to know.

Thank you again Jim,, I will wait in hope someone finds  a clue and
passes it on ,,much appreciate all 'Roots' help,,,

Kind regards;

Janey,
